I’m Michael Wood, a South Yorkshire web developer helping businesses build better websites, online shops, booking systems, CRMs, portals and automation tools. I work with businesses across Rotherham, Sheffield, Barnsley and Doncaster, as well as UK-wide remotely.
Whether you need a new WordPress website, a WooCommerce store, a faster existing site, a bespoke PHP system or a custom CRM to reduce admin, I build practical solutions that are designed to be fast, maintainable and easy for real businesses to use.
I work with businesses across the main South Yorkshire areas, helping with website builds, website improvements, SEO foundations, eCommerce, custom systems and ongoing support.
South Yorkshire has a broad mix of independent businesses, trades, manufacturers, clinics, retailers, training providers and professional services. I help these businesses build websites and systems that generate enquiries, support online sales and reduce manual admin.
That might mean a focused lead-generation website for a local service business, a WooCommerce store with custom ordering journeys, or a private CRM that replaces spreadsheets and repeated email tasks.
I don’t just build simple websites. I help businesses create online systems that support enquiries, sales, bookings, admin workflows, customer communication and long-term growth.
Bespoke WordPress websites with clean structure, responsive layouts, SEO foundations, fast loading speeds and content that is easy to manage.
WordPress development ↗Custom WooCommerce websites, checkout improvements, product templates, payment setup, shipping logic, order emails and customer journey improvements.
WooCommerce development ↗CRMs, dashboards, booking systems, portals, admin tools, API integrations and automation built around how your business actually works.
CRMs & automation ↗These projects show the type of work I can help South Yorkshire businesses with — from brochure websites and WooCommerce stores through to private CRMs, booking systems, customer portals and automation.
A complete custom PHP platform with public website, training booking system, Stripe payments, customer portal, enrolment forms, CRM, receipts and email automation.
A private internal CRM for dispatch, orders, drivers, phone bookings, skip reminders, permit tracking, Waste Transfer Notes and WooCommerce order syncing.
A bespoke WooCommerce website for branded clothing, workwear, print, signage, bundles, custom product journeys, Stripe, Klarna and tailored order emails.
A conversion-focused lead generation website for a trades business, built with local SEO, clear service pages, trust sections and enquiry-focused calls to action.

View case study ↗Many businesses don’t need a large agency. They need someone technical, reliable and clear — someone who can understand the problem, build the right solution and keep things maintainable.
I can help with custom PHP, WordPress, WooCommerce, APIs, Stripe, CRMs, dashboards and automation — not just basic page layouts.
Pages are structured with clean URLs, metadata, headings, internal links, performance and content hierarchy in mind.
I can help after launch with hosting, changes, tracking, speed improvements, new features, fixes and ongoing website support.
Every project is different, but I keep the process simple and clear so you always know what is happening.
Being based in South Yorkshire gives local businesses trust and the option to work with someone nearby, but most projects can be delivered remotely. I regularly work through clear briefs, staging links, screen recordings, emails and calls, so you do not need to be local to get a proper result.
A website should not just sit online looking nice. It should help people understand what you do, trust your business and take action. For some businesses, that means a simple lead generation website. For others, it means online payments, booking systems, customer portals, automated emails, admin dashboards or a custom CRM.
I work well with service businesses, trades, clinics, eCommerce businesses, training providers and companies that have outgrown spreadsheets or manual processes. If your current setup involves copying information between emails, forms, spreadsheets and systems, there is usually a better way to build it.
